Minor accident or injury is one where child has received scrape, graze or minor cut to arm, leg or body.

Serious accident or injury is one where child has received injury which may require further treatment, or any head injury.

A First Aid Box is located at first aid station in corridor for all injuries.

Post Holder responsible for First Aid is Rose-Marie O’ Loughlin and is consulted with any injury considered serious, who in turn will notify principal and parents thereafter by secretary or Post Holder if necessary.

Parents will take responsibility for further medical attention. Parents have given

permission on school enrolment forms to take child to hospital in case of accident or serious illness. Emergency contact numbers are located in the office and are updated regularly.

For minor accidents that do not require parent’s presence, class teacher will inform parents when child is collected or child themselves will tell parents.
